Numerical Study of Wake Characteristics in a Horizontal-Axis Hydrokinetic Turbine

ABSTRACT Over the years most studies on wake characteristics have been devoted to wind turbines, while few works are related to hydrokinetic turbines. Among studies applied to rivers, depth and width are important parameters for a suitable design. In this work, a numerical study of the wake in a hor...
